Kima Otung Releases Empowering Visuals To “I’m Cute” Taken From Forthcoming Debut EP “Note To Self”

Nigerian born, Welsh raised and now London based musician Kima Otung is here to show women everywhere that confidence and self-love are the most important attributes women will learn in the eccentric new video for “I’m Cute” taken from her upcoming debut EP “Note To Self”.

“I’m Cute” is a self-love anthem infused with witty yet uplifting lyrics. Kima’s lyrics reaffirm women’s beauty and greatness, and she makes clever cultural references to her Nigerian heritage throughout the song, singing “I was born with all this spice, I’ve got flavour; Jollof Rice.”

“I want every woman and girl to sing this song about themselves to remind them that they are cute as hell, they shouldn’t let anyone make them doubt it.” – Kima Otung

Kima tells the story of being in school and feeling insecure about her facial features, specifically her full lips which were not yet ‘in fashion’ like they are now. Kima recalls going to lengths to hide her lips in order to look like the other girls around her and the women she saw in the media. This is until Kima realised that she didn’t need the media to validate her beauty before she owned it.

“…don’t wait until the way you look is ‘trendy’ before you realise you’re beautiful. I want every woman and girl to sing ‘I’m Cute’ about themselves to remind them that they are cute as hell, they shouldn’t let anyone make them doubt it.” – Kima Otung

Kima’s mission with her music and debut EP, “Note To Self”, is to be the voice in the ear of every girl and woman telling them that they’ve got this and counteracting the negativity that society can often harbour. In fact, she chose to call the EP “Note To Self” so that she can go back to the songs in moments when she doubts herself to remind herself of who she is and what she stands for.

The EP serves as a reminder to Kima for those moments when she forgot who she was, for the moments when life makes her doubt herself. She wants this body of work to help aid her find her way back to confidence. ‘Note To Self’ is the real statement of who Kima is and what she stands for as an artist so she is super excited for everyone to hear it!
